Configuring Dynamic DNS Updates for Clients
You can enable DDNS updates when creating or editing a DHCP scope for
Distributed, L3
clients. When
enabled, the DDNS updates of the clients are periodically sent during the specified time to the DNS server that
is configured in the DHCP profile. If there is no DNS server configured in the DHCP profile, the client
DNS updates will be dropped. The DDNS updates are secured by using TSIG shared secret keys, when
communicating between the client and the server. For more information, see
.
